“Lesson #2: State schools are among the best education investments. They beat out many elite private institutions in term of return for investment.”

This is true, as you noted, is if you are paying full tuition. Personally, I don’t know anyone paying full tuition at Harvard, Williams, BC, Mount Holyoke, Northeastern or Wellesley. But the kids I do know who are going to an out-of-state public (none in MA) are paying full freight. That kind of changes the equation.
